    My 08 tundra 5.7 starts then dies immediately. I can get a jump then it will stay running.any ideas? I put a new battery in but it still did it. It is an intermittent problem. It seems like there isnt enough voltage to keep the engine firing?

    Alternator or voltage regulator are my guesses since you already replaced the battery. However, both would drain the battery eventually.
    Interested to see what it ends up being.
    Hang in there!
